sri:


Lord Vishnu saved an elephant from a  crocodile.What is so great 
about it?Is it the fact that he saved it makes it a great deed?Is it 
the fact that he saved just an animal makes it a great act?

Its the speed with which he came to save the gajendra that makes it 
a great act.Mukkur laxmi narasimacharya says this beautifully 
as "Narayana I wonder at ganjendra moksha not for the act,but for 
the speed with which you came to save it".

Narasimacharya says that before the elephhants ehco was silenced 
Narayana ran swiftly to save it. He need not run to save it. By mere 
thinking alone he can save it. But when he heard a voice of a devotee 
he couldnt think about anything else. He ran to save it.

When he sees a suffering devotee narayana forgets everything it 
seems. When he was in ramavathar,he had to act like a human.He did 
not behave like a god in front of others. 

But when he saw a dying jadayu, he forgot his role as a 
human and granted it moksha on the spot.
There he became narayana forgeting even the mission of that 
avathar.


PS: Note from Moderator:  Jatayu Mokhsam is a very detailed 
   and intricate incident explained by our purvacharyas. 
  This can be a seperate thread.
